[Lyric] Im Not Down Vanilla Studios Demo Version (The Clash)

[Intro]
Huh!

[Verse 1]
Well, I've never seen a rich man go out shopping
I wonder why, I wonder why
Maybe all that money saves his life from crying
He must be mad, he must be mad

[Chorus]
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down
Huh!

[Verse 2]
On my own, I faced a gang of jeering
In strange streets, oh
When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in
Oh ho, oh-oh
[Chorus]
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, I've been grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down
Huh!

[Verse 3]
'Cause I've lived that kind of day
When none of your sorrows will go away
It goes down and down and hit the floor
Down and down and down and hit some more
Depression
But I know it'll go away
When I can swing everything back my way
Maybe I'll cure that
Depression

[Bridge]
So you rock around and think that you're the toughest
In the world, the whole wide world
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest
I've been there, oh ho

[Chorus]
I've been beat up, I've been grown up
But I'm not down, no I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, no I'm not down
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
Well, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
No, I'm not down
I'm not down
